Why might the triangulation method not always produce an exact point for an epicenter?

The triangulation method may not always produce an exact point for an epicenter because it relies on accurate and precise timing of seismic wave arrivals at different stations. Errors in measuring arrival times, variations in seismic wave velocity, and limited number of monitoring stations can result in uncertainties that affect the accuracy of the calculated epicenter point.


How many seismograph stations does it take to find an exact location of an earthquake's epicenter?

At least three seismograph stations are needed to triangulate the exact location of an earthquake's epicenter. By comparing the arrival times of the seismic waves at different stations, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where these intersect. More stations can provide a more accurate and precise location.


What is a atmosphere sensing device?

An atmosphere sensing device is a tool used to measure and analyze various components of the atmosphere, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas concentrations. These devices are commonly used in weather stations, environmental monitoring, and industrial settings to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.


What is the abbreviation for automated weather stations?

The abbreviation for automated weather stations is AWS.


How many weather stations are there around the world?

There are thousands of weather stations around the world, with estimates ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 stations. These stations collect data on various weather parameters that help in forecasting and monitoring weather conditions globally.

When a pilot mentions that a plane is at an altitude of 34000 feet is that above sea level or above the ground for example 44000 ft above sea level if flying over a mountain range 10000 feet high?

Most likely, neither. When an airplane is flying above FL 180 (18,000 feet above sea level, or 18,000 MSL) in the United States, the altimeter readings are read out based on 'pressure altitude'.Normally altitude is determined by an instrument (altimeter) that utilizes the barometric readings reported at ground reporting stations over which you are flying. However, when cruising at or above FL180, pilots use 'pressure altitude', where the altimeter is set to use 29.92 inches Hg as the barometric pressure for readings. This helps to prevent having to change the instrument settings continuously to match the ground stations, and ensures that pilots flying at these higher altitudes all have the same reference setting for height.


Why do three circles show the epicenter of an earthquake?

Each circle is actually the radius around a reporting station. To find an earthquake's epicenter, you need at least three reporting stations. The radius around each station should meet at one point, the epicenter. This point should be about the size of a town, depending on how close or far the reporting stations are. With any less than three reporting stations, the exact point of the epicenter may not be located.


Why is the media so far left and what happened to objective reporting?

Most of the media stations are owned by the same companies. They decide what to air and how to air it. There is no such thing as objective reporting. Everyone's personal opinion enters into what they do.


Radio problems after changing the battery in a 1998 cirrus?

there is no problem you just lose all preset stations and any equalizer settings everything returns to default settings after a power loss you must reset all settings manually.


Why are news stations except Fox News not reporting that Obama knew it was not a video that caused the Americans to be killed in Libya attack because those Americans asked for help and were denied?

They are for obama.


Which airports monitor atmospheric effects?

All manned airports have what are referred to as METAR or AWOS stations. Many unmanned airports have AWOS or ASOS weather reporting. If an airport has three letters in the identifying characters for the airport then it has some form of weather observation. If there is a number in the airports identifier then it has no weather reporting.


How many additional seismic stations must report seismogram information in order to located this earthquake?

To locate an earthquake accurately, a minimum of 4 seismic stations reporting seismogram information are needed. This allows seismologists to triangulate the epicenter by analyzing the arrival times and amplitudes of the seismic waves recorded at each station. Additional stations can improve the accuracy and reliability of the earthquake location.


When was the weather radio invented?

The Weather Bureau began broadcasting weather reports in 1960 as an experiment. Now there are over 1023 stations reporting the weather in the US, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands.


How to clear service engine soon in a Nissan Rogue?

Disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery for few minutes, this will erase also your preset radio stations. Your Bluetooth settings remain untouched.


Who reads the weather on TV 3 news?

Unfortunately, we cannot answer this question because there are many television stations called "TV3" and we don't know which one you are asking about. The good news is that most stations today have their own websites, which list all of the station's personnel, including the person who reports the weather. (It should be noted that most of the people reporting the weather do more than "read" it-- years ago, it is true that many stations used an attractive young female to read what someone else had written. But in recent times, reporting the weather on TV has become a skilled profession, and the men and women who do it are trained as meteorologists. They not only read the weather, but they are experts in the science of forecasting it.)


Why are nuclear power stations unsuitable for meeting daily variations in the demand for electricity?

Nuclear power stations take time to ramp up or down their power output, making them less flexible to meet sudden changes in electricity demand. They are better suited for providing a constant base load of power rather than adjusting quickly to fluctuations in demand throughout the day. For daily variations in demand, other energy sources like natural gas or renewables with quicker response times are more suitable.


I look the weather sometimes but but idont see kosovo nowheer in the world maap why you dont put kosovo in ther because now kosovo is new land who is recognized from 57 countrys please dont forgot?

Probable reason is that no weather reporting stations in Kosovo, if any have been established, send their data to international reporting services. Can you contact any such weather offices in Kosovo ?
